Curious began playing for StarTale at the start of 2011. Although he is one of the few players to be able to qualify for two different seasons of Code A. He has been unable to capitalize on that, losing in the first round both times to HuK and YugiOh respectively. Curious has overall mediocre results in online tournaments where he has taken wins off of mostly lesser known players. Curious' greatest utility is the GSTL where he is often played as a possible sniper.
[edit] Code A
In the GSL October 2011 season, Curious managed to get to the finals undefeated against Sniper, SjoW, YugiOh and GuMiho. In the finals, he beat Oz 4-0 in a very convincing manner, qualifying him for Code S.
As a result of the format changes in GSL November 2011 and going 0-2 in his Code S group, Curious took a quick exit out of Code S and landed back in Code A. He faced off against TheStC in the Ro48, winning 2-1 and advanced to play against Monster in the Ro32 whom he beat 2-0. In the Ro24, Curious was slated to meet CoCa but since CoCa dropped out of the GSL,[1] Curious managed to reclaim his Code S spot for the next GSL season.
In 2012 GSL Season 2 Code A Curious was set to meet up with Sniper in the Ro32, after dropping from Code S. He ended up losing 0-2, and fell to the Up-and-Down Groups.
[edit] Code S
Due to his Code A win in GSL October, Curious would get an automatic spot in GSL Code S November, he would be picked to Group H with Mvp, MarineKing, and aLive. He would go 0-2 falling to Code A. However, he would quickly regain his Code S spot by defeating TheStC 2-1, Monster 2-0, and then taking a walkover victory against CoCa, who forfeited his spot in the GSL.
In 2012 GSL Season 2 Code S, Curious was placed in Group D with Maru, HerO and GuMiho. He managed to 2-0 GuMiho, but ended up third in his group, 3-4 in sets, which dropped him to Code A.

[edit] Rivalries
[edit] Oz
Accounts seem to vary, but the first televised instance of this rivalry would apparently be Oz's victory over Curious in the GSTL, which ended with the Protoss player building a Nexus in the main base of the Zerg player. This rivalry would remain rather dormant until the Code A finals months later in October, where Oz had defeated Sage and Curious had swept GuMiho. FXOpen's account on TeamLiquid stated that the finals would indeed be a grudge match.[2] When asked by a forum-goer as to why/how the rivalry sprung up, FXOpen responded that it was 'internal' and not for 'public display'.[3] The pre-game final interviews for both players contained typical friendly and competitive banter, though the finals themselves would end decisively in Curious' favor with a score of 4-0 over Oz.
Despite Oz's loss, he would top his group in the Up and Down matches and after attaining Code S, he stated in his winners interview that he sought revenge for his loss to Curious in the finals. Curious however would be ousted from Code S early into the tournament by aLive and MarineKing, while Oz managed to remain in Code S.
